User Reviews
I was using the app and I needed to talk to someone so I can pick up an item tomorrow June 1 but all of a sudden it logged me out and won’t let me log in at all. I even made a new account and it let me but I couldn’t find my other profile and the post I made asking about items I needed. This is stupid.
They regularly update the app design but it is always buggy. I donated money to them and hopefully they use it to make the app work.
The old version felt much more streamlined. This new version seems to add a bunch of social features while making the flow of giving away things I need more difficult. There is also a bug with notifications where it perpetually shows I have a notification that I can’t clear.
Buy nothing used to allow the gift of knowledge, but now if you try to share the gift of knowledge of a community signal group, it’ll get deleted, probably because they want you to pay for the “Communities” feature. So, they won’t allow that, but they’ll allow stools made out of endangered animals (Elephants) skin and delete your comments and try to berate you for “not uniting the community” if you try to point out not liking that it’s allowed on their platform. I have better luck with fb marketplace and my local community group anyways. Deleted.
I love the Buy Nothing concept and I have used a Facebook group based on it when I lived in an area that had one but the app is clearly only useful for large cities because a 20 mile radius is nothing in rural areas. You’d be better off throwing paper airplanes with your offering and hoping it lands on someone’s property who can use it. I hope they will rethink this.
I have restarted, updated and redownloaded the app several times and it just spins and spins.
I haven’t been able to log on. It says account blocked, contact support. Support hasn’t replied to me in days…
This app won’t even open. I just get a spinning wheel.
It’s a great concept but the app is horrendous. Glitches all the time and not intuitive.
They took a perfectly good app, that I used frequently, and made completely useless. Constant glitches!
